With a wide array of games in place for each category you can expect to see big titles such as Hotline Miami 2, Bloodborne, Dragon Age: Inquisition and Life is Strange. Sadly you might not agree to some categories or there might be some huge omissions, but each nominee has been included and chosen by the big names in video gaming editorials such as PC Gamer and Edge. Bloodborne has taken the cake so far for the most nominations with an impressive 9. This is followed by Her Story, Batman Arkham Knight and Life is Strange.

The winners of each category will be revealed on October 30th at the Indig02 event at London this year.

Let us know in the comments what you chose for some of these categories, or if you got one that’s not in the list! We’d love to know for our eventual end of year GotY polls!
